    I think you might be wanting a bit too much. February through to August is pushing it a bit.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    My wife is very ill, just need some colour for her to look at.

    Erysimum Bowles' Mauve, can flower for all 12 months if conditions are right - a magnet for bees and butterflies too. Makes quite a large bushy plant in time, so you could add some pretty little annuals around the edge for the summer. It will flower itself to death eventually, but is easy to keep going with cuttings.

    thank you so much for your help but I was thinking inline of a small easy to maintain shrub.
